On Nov. 16th 1519, a small town was edtablished
on a Caribbean shore caressed by warm tropical waters.
The founding colonists wanted to name it San Cristobal in honour of Cristopher Columbus,
but the native Indians preferred a word from their own language La Habana.
Thus San Cristobal de La Habana was born,
a small village that, with the passage of time,
would become beautiful, sensual, cosmopolitan city of of Havana
and the capital of Cuba.
Now to mark the 480th anniversary of the founding of the city, and on the eve of a new Millennieum, Corporacio n Habanos s.a. offers lovers of Habanos a new masterpiece. A brand created to satisfy the taste of the most demanding smokers with a unique blend of tobaccos
in an exceptional range of vitolas.
